If internet explored worked on UNIX like it does
on windows, I'd use it on Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux
and any other system I use.
It's definetely better than mozilla which is a extremely slow memory hog.
It works slower on K6-2 450Mhz than netscape3
worked on my 386 back then.
Some one should really focus on profiling before
it's too late.
I've just tried M18 yesterday, and it's quite unusable at that point.
I respect the OSS movement, and myself prefer
OSS products; use FreeBSD and Linux at work and at home. But this is clearly the case when Microsoft
has done it better.
Sorry guys, face the truth.
Anti-M$oft prejeduce is not better than Anti-Linux
one.
It's well known that ext2fs is slow, unefficient, non-scalable, and not very fault tolerant. I'm not surprised at all. What is surprising is that linux ip stack which was supposed to be very efficient, was proven to be very uneffective. It's interesting how would FreeBSD deal with such load, FFS or vinum are much faster filesystems, and BSD stack is much more effecient. We'll see..
First of all this test is updated for 1995 if it's true that it wasn't revisited in 1998. GNU utilities got a LOT better since then, and measuring by the size of patch clusters for solaris, sun didn't make much progress. And secondly, the source is on this ftp as well, fetch it and try it on anything you want. * When I get a new computer I first of all wipe native utilities, and then install GNU utilities. They're much more consistent, faster and better. Linux wouldn't be what it is today if not GNU. I think that the GNU people deserve a big compliment.

I use http://lopster.sourceforge.net/ with Napigator servers.

Yes, Microsoft tries to do to Perl exactly what it did to Java.
Make it incompatible with other platforms.
Times change, Microsoft doesn't
I think you're mistaken.
What I've studied is that information travels at light speed, thus we have the magnetism effect.
